I Believe The GOP Is Going To Ignore Protesters And Blow Up Everything.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Ryan and McConnell are determined to shut down the entire safety net no matter what the nation wants. They have supreme power now and are bullet proof politically with rigged elections and the ability to hide behind a mountain of security.

We are off to a good start in opposition but we must realize do they not only are deaf they are saying FUCK YOU. All you have to do is listen.

1. then we need to make more calls and be louder.

they cannot put the American people at risk. Our voices cannot be silenced.

[TheMastersNemesis]

2. Right Now You Cannot Reach Ryan or other GOP Representatives. They Shut Off Their Phones.

You probably cannot reach you GOP representative. Coffman and the other GOP reps in Colorado have gone into deep hiding. And they won't even come out in public now.

You would think calls would help but I am not sure they will. And if you try to show up and protest at their offices they will call the police and have you arrested if you do not leave.

5. Yup...getting dead air...which is personality appropriate for

Ryan and McConnell, it also magnifies that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Their downfall, when it does happen, will be a joy to behold.

6. can we call this a full blown

constitutional crisis?

9. Bernie wants you to call him if you can't get through to GOP

He's keeping a tally or some such.

14. Voices can and will be ignored. Checks are the only thing that gets their attention

And it's not a problem exclusive to Republicans

We need true populists in place who will listen.

3. If they are going to do it, now is the time.

It depends on how vulnerable some congressmen/women feel about retaining their seats. There is hope but I agree not much the way the deck has been stacked.

4. It comes down to 2018.

Period. If we can win 4 or 5 state Govenors, 25 House seats and 2 Senate seats. Tough battle ahead. we can slow down their bullshit.

[otohara]

7. Just Like Bush/Cheney

they don't give a shit how many people are out protesting.
They won it all.

The ignore button is on

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. Ditto. They have all the power now and they're going to use it. Period.

[bdamomma]

15. home of the brave?????

I will never do this

[justiceischeap]

10. I'm loving all this cynicism, it feeds my soul

Said Trump and the GOP.

Hey, I'm a cynic too but the answer isn't not to try. An outpouring of outrage over the Ethics thing seemed to make them walk back.

Or, another way to look at it, at least we can say we tried to save America while the GOP drive it off a cliff.

11. I live in Wisconsin...

they are drunk with power and will do whatever they want as quickly as they can. You will be amazed how quickly they destroy and dismantle. It's happened here.

12. It is QUITE clear they are ignoring us...Spicer use of "number of protesters" re: crowd size

13. We need to go after Ryan in his home district

I know the area he is from and the changes he wants to make to Medicare and Social Security are not going to be popular. Cantor was eliminated for overreaching, it's time some wealthy Democrat or Progressive starts running some ads in his home district.
